@ATRightMovies The 1998 FA Cup Final

What is the first movie that comes to mind when you see ROBERT DE NIRO?

@NewYorker Lazy reportage. It's Downs' Syndrome.

A new short documentary by Louise Monlaü captures the complex relationship between a mother and her adult daughter with Down syndrome. “The two women dream of being somewhere free and independent,” Monlaü says, “but are forever bound.” nyer.cm/Y3MCyKb

@PHiroshimapref I hope they keep it alive alongside the story of Pearl Harbor

Mr. Kajiya has passed down the story of Hiroshima through the medium of kamishibai. What is it he would like to convey to today’s children by recounting his personal experience of surviving exposure to the nuclear blast?

@HistoryInPics Horse shit

On August 1, 1960, President Dwight D. Eisenhower received a letter from a frustrated citizen named Leon Scott. Mr. Scott asked Eisenhower why he had a picture of Robert E. Lee in his office. This was Eisenhower's response to Mr. Scott: "Dear Dr. Scott, Respecting your August 1 inquiry calling attention to my often expressed admiration for General Robert E. Lee, I would say, first, that we need to understand that at the time of the War between the States, the issue of secession had remained unresolved for more than 70 years. Men of probity, character, public standing, and unquestioned loyalty, both North and South, had disagreed over this issue as a matter of principle from the day our Constitution was adopted. General Robert E. Lee was, in my estimation, one of the supremely gifted men produced by our Nation. He believed unswervingly in the Constitutional validity of his cause which, until 1865, was still an arguable question in America; he was a poised and inspiring leader, true to the high trust reposed in him by millions of his fellow citizens; he was thoughtful yet demanding of his officers and men, forbearing with captured enemies but ingenious, unrelenting, and personally courageous in battle, and never disheartened by a reverse or obstacle. Through all his many trials, he remained selfless almost to a fault and unfailing in his faith in God. Taken altogether, he was noble as a leader and as a man, and unsullied as read the pages of our history. From deep conviction, I simply say this: a nation of men of Lee's calibre would be unconquerable in spirit and soul. Indeed, to the degree that present-day American youth will strive to emulate his rare qualities, including his devotion to this land as revealed in his painstaking efforts to help heal the Nation's wounds once the bitter struggle was over, we, in our own time of danger in a divided world, will be strengthened and our love of freedom sustained. Such are the reasons that I proudly display the picture of this great American on my office wall. Sincerely, Dwight D. Eisenhower"

@NewYorker And meanwhile, the world yawns

A scholar of medieval literature seeks to recover the lost history of women’s words (and with it, a forgotten history of womanhood), and to encourage us to find new ways to express ourselves in the present day. nyer.cm/cds9aQN

@fanly @FanlyGridiron Who are these bozos?

Are you winning? ⬇️

Wake up you dozy Guardian readers - don't you get it? After all these years? For "Tory Ministers" read "MPs" - those who actively seek power are precisely those to whom it should be denied. They're all the same.

@ProjectLincoln Oh, be quiet, man!

@foliosociety @guardian I don't agree with anything The Guardian says

The entry point: Norwegian Wood The masterpiece: Kafka on the Shore If you only read one: The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle @guardian shares where to start with the works of Haruki Murakami. Do you agree with this list? theguardian.com/books/2023/jul…

@foliosociety @washingtonpost Elementary schools don't have students, they have pupils.

@NewYorker The name of the game is FOOTBALL, you barbarian

Game-changing goals are routine for Sam Kerr. Like all of soccer’s great strikers, Kerr has a full menu of ways to score—but, for her, it’s all about motion. Read more about Australia's hope for a World Cup title: nyer.cm/sCJMxAT

@NewYorker The game is FOOTBALL, pal

Sam Kerr, the captain and star player of the national team of Australia, is one of soccer’s great strikers. To many Australians, she seems cosmically set to be the World Cup’s defining player. nyer.cm/3vfBFUo

@SubwayUK "American Cheese" isn't cheese at all - it's plastic.

Some people choose crispy bacon, hash browns, poached eggs, American cheese, ketchup, and a delicious pork patty. Others simply ask for a Big Breakwich from the new #SubwaySeries menu. Oh, and it’s available at any time of the day.

@oneminutehacks I can't (sniffle) help it! WAAAH! SOB! (it's so sad) BOO-HOO! WEEP! LACHRYMATE!! (etc.)

They took the same picture for 40 years. Don't cry once you get to the last one!

@NewYorker Obviously a deeply philosophical woman, on top of the major issues

As both a business­woman and a performer, Sarah Jessica Parker devotes herself all the way. In a new Profile, she discusses the next season of “And Just Like That,” designing her own shoes, and why she doesn’t mind being so associated with Carrie Bradshaw. nyer.cm/QLNNgyc
